Jamie was afraid her drain tile would become clogged like it had in the past and she really wanted to finish her basement. She was referred to MidAmerica Basement Systems to get a free estimate.
Soon after giving them a call, an appointment was set up for Mike Banks to come evaluate the basement. Mike decided the best solution for the water problem was to install a TripleSafe pumping system and a full perimeter of WaterGuard drainage system around the basement. The TripleSafe pumping system will keep the basement dry and be able to keep up with any rain storm. The full perimeter of WaterGuard drainage system will make sure the water is directed to the pumping system throughout the entire business. Since Jamie also wanted to finish her basement, Mike proposed the Basement to Beautiful panels. These panels are a good look and will keep the water out.
Jamie could not be happier with her decision to have her basement waterproofed by MidAmerica Basement Systems. She no longer has to worry about water coming in her home when it rains.
Jessica was tired of dealing with water in her basement and having to look at a dreary crawlspace. She was referred to MidAmerica Basement Systems by a past customer to have a free estimate done.
After giving them a call, an appointment was set up for Joe Sarb to come diagnose the basement and crawlspace. Joe decided the best solution for the water issue was to install a TripleSafe pumping system to pump the water out and away from the home. Also, a full perimeter of WaterGuard drainage system to make sure the water has a way to travel to the pumping system. Finally, BrightWall strips to protect form the water coming in through the walls of the basement. For the crawlspace, Joe proposed encapsulating the entire area with CleanSpace, this will fully encapsulate the crawlspace making it cleaner and nearly impossible for animals to get in. Jessica is very happy with the work MidAmerica Basement Systems did and now has a care free basement.
This basement in Cedar Rapids is owned by Graig, who noticed the deterioration of his basement and wanted a solution that he could trust to be efficient and reliable. Graig called on the MidAmerica Basement Systems team and requested to have one of our experts come out to his home and assess the problem.
With a greater understanding of what was happening and what can be done (including cost) to remedy Graig's basement troubles, Graig agreed. With Bill Wilcox as Primary Foreman, the team began working on Graig's basement. First, the team installed the TripleSafe sump pump system to alleviate the basement of further flood damage. The TripleSafe sump pump system is powerful enough to pump out at least 12,000 gallons of water (the average size of basements from floor to ceiling) and smart enough to alert Graig if there is ever a problem.
Next, the team addressed water leaks from the foundation walls by installing the WaterGuard system, which is able to re-direct leaks to the TripleSafe sump pump. Finally, the team lined the most evidently damaged foundation walls with none other than the CleanSpace liner wall system. A revolutionary product that is resistant to tears and punctures (so it's long lasting) and is also made with an anti-microbial additive that wards off mold and bacteria growth.
Graig included other exclusive Basement Systems products, such as the IceGuard, which comes to action in the case of a pipe freezing during winter. And the LawnScape well outlet, which is extremely popular for discharge lines on sump pumps to direct water away from the home. Graig can now rest easy knowing that his basement will be dry and healthy.
MidAmerica appreciates Graig's business. The team is happy that they were able to not only help Graig waterproof his basement, but was also able to ensure that Graig got everything he wanted...and nothing he didn't!
Tony and Dawn, homeowners of this Cedar Rapids home, really wanted to have a warm, bright and inviting basement. Starting with the windows. They called the team at MidAmerica Basement Systems and the expert, Joe Sarb, had the perfect solution that would not only provide Tony and Dawn with everything they wanted (like brightness and warmth) but also the things they needed (like durability and waterproof). Tony and Dawn were excited at the possibilities and soon the MidAmerica got to work.
With Mike Keck leading the team, they began by digging a hole around the exterior ground level window. Then they began enlarging the original window size to fit the new, larger energy efficient StakWel Egress window. To encapsulate the StakWel Egress window, the team installed the SunHouse. A durable window dressing that keeps weed, leaves and rain at bay. The SunHouse has a sturdy, clear lid that allows plenty of natural light in. The SunHouse is also a bright white color which allows light to bounce off and illuminate dark spaces.
Tony and Dawn are pleased that they have such an aesthetically pleasing, energy efficient, durable window/window dressing and MidAmerica is thrilled to have fulfilled another families basement needs!
Ashley just purchased this home in Cedar Rapids. The home was built in the 1920's, so Ashley knew her new home may need some TLC. What Ashley didn't know until after it rained, was the substantial problem occurring in her basement. Ashley called MidAmerica Basement Systems about a massive leak that resembled more of a waterfall than a leak. Given that the home was built years ago, there was no way of knowing how long the problem has plagued this basement or how severe the damage was. Ashley called the MidAmerica Basement Systems team and an expert was sent out to the home for a free inspection and estimate.
Once Ashley understood what was happening and what could be done, the MidAmerica team began the plan to restore Ashely's basement. To address the problem of flooding from the amount of water coming in, the TripleSage Sump Pump was installed. With the ability to pump out massive amount of water with its 3 in 1 advanced pumping system, the "waterfall" Ashley described met its match. The basement was then installed with the WaterGuard waterproofing system, which redirects wall leaks to the TripleSafe sump pump. The walls were then fitted with BrightWall. BrightWall is not only designed to brighten dark basements by giving it a "finished" look, but also is made of inorganic materials making it resistant to mold.
Now when Ashley goes down to her basement, she no longer worries about leaks or "waterfalls". MidAmerica is proud to have helped to restore this older basement for its newest homeowner!
Mike wanted to insulate and encapsulate his space and requested an estimate from MidAmerica Basement Systems. Michael Banks went out to inspect the space and provide Mike a plan and an estimate. Mike Clementz was the lead foreman for the job and though they had very limited space to work, they were able to give the homeowner, Mike, everything he asked for and needed. The team installed CleanSpace to seal Mike's crawl space from the exposed earth. They installed the SmartDrain which will drain leaks that may potentially occur. The Smart Drain comes with the WaterWatch, which will alert Mike of those potential leaks. The SaniDry was installed to keep humidity levels low, preventing mold growth and foul smells. The team further sealed the space from outside influences by sealing the vents with vent covers.
Mike's crawl space is healthier, dryer and much more comfortable.
James P. of Cedar Rapids called the team at MidAmerica Basement Systems and explained that he was noticing cracks in his basements that would leak whenever it would rain and expressed that he wanted to waterproof his basement.

Rob K. was having a couple different water issues in his basement including water from the exterior of the house and water coming in through the floor. He decided to call in the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems to get a free in-home estimate.
After speaking with the office staff, an appointment was set up for Dustin Shepard to come evaluate the basement. After Dustin assessed the basement, he decided the best solution for this particular problem was to have a TripleSafe pumping system, a couple laterals, and a full perimeter of WaterGuard installed. The laterals are a drainage material that is placed through the middle of the basement floor to get any water that comes up through the floor and takes it to the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard is a channeling system around the inside perimeter of the basement and it take the water from the basement to the TripleSafe. The TripleSafe pumping system is the best in the business at getting all of the water up, out, and safely away from the home.
Rob K. is very happy to no longer have to worry about water in his basement. He appreciates everything MidAmerica Basement Systems did for him and would recommend them to anyone with a basement issue.

When a representative from MidAmerica Basement Systems arrived at his home, it was suggested installing CleanSpace and WaterGuard to address the leaking walls. CleanSpace provides a moisture barrier between his wall and basement, sealing out unwanted moisture. Along the base of the walls, WaterGuard was installed to collect the water running off the walls. After entering the WaterGuard, water is properly directed to the sump pump where it is properly discharged from the home. Now with a fully waterproofed basement, Bryan can continue to finish his basement without the worry of water damage.
Phil and Laura were having issues with water coming up through their floor foundation cracks. This was a large concern for them, because they thought the only way that it could be fix was demoing the whole floor and laying down new concrete. During their waterproofing inspection, Dustin of MidAmerica Basement Systems offered them a relief to their floor. With the installation of WaterGuard and Lateral drain systems, water will no longer seep in through the floor cracks, but instead flow into the drains to be directed to the TripleSafe sump. Without the help from the Lateral drains, water would surface to the floor, making the basement wet.
PolyLevel is a new start of the art approach to lifting and leveling sinking slabs. Similar to mudjacking, PolyLevel provides a better and more accurate solution. The lightweight polymer material fills voids and lifts concrete without the extra stress applied to the failed fill soil. Weighing less than 4 pounds per cubic foot, compared to the 120 pounds per cubic foot of mudjacking slurry, it can lift up to 4,000 pounds per square foot. The quick drying time allows for area usage after 15 minutes of injection rather than days after injection of mudjacking. PolyLevel is extremely accurate, over- or under-lifting is never a worry.
When concrete slabs settle, it can produce tripping hazards. Stan was concerned about the large difference from his driveway to the walkway to the front door. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his hazard addressed. PolyLevel was injected to lift and level the two areas of concrete, allowing for a smooth transition from driveway to walkway. With PolyLevel, Stan was able to use his driveway and walkway within minutes after the crew had completed his job. With PolyLevel, he now has safe walking areas for his guests and himself.
Settled soil can cause voids underneath concrete slabs, leading to sunken and even cracked concrete. Injecting PolyLevel with MidAmerica Basement Systems offers a long-lasting lifting and leveling solution. Small holes, roughly the size of a dime, are drilled into the concrete to inject PolyLevel. The high-density polymers fill the voids, expanding to lift the concrete. The quick reaction time offers for a precise lift, leveling the concrete slabs in minutes. PolyLevel has a fast cure time, allowing for accessibility to the area in as soon as 15 minutes after injection. PolyLevel is the new, permanent solution to concrete lifting and leveling.
Ashley had an older home, and over the years her small seeping foundation had turned a waterfall stream. She reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her problem fixed. It was suggested that she have BrightWall, WaterGuard and a TripleSafe installed. The BrightWall gives the basement a vapor barrier from the water the enters in through to foundation, directing it to the WaterGuard. WaterGuard is placed around the perimeter of the basement to collect water that seeps in the foundation, and is directed to the TripleSafe. The TripleSafe than discharges all the water that enters the home, back out, leaving the basement dry.
Due to the cracks in between concrete slabs, rain water can easily seep down, causing the ground to wash out. Wash outs then leave voids under the concrete, causing them to sink and even crack under extreme conditions. Appling NexusPro Joint Sealant, water can no longer seep in between the slabs, helping the ground under the slabs keep longer. NexusPro also blends with the concrete, reducing the appearance of unsightly cracks caused by voids. NexusPro helps the life extension of concrete slabs.
PolyLevel is a state of the art approach to repairing sunken concrete, with a twist of the old mud jacking ways. Using modern technology and knowledge, PolyLevel offers many more advantages. Holes, roughly 5/8 inch in size, are drilled into the concrete so the high-density polymers can fill the voids that have formed underneath the slabs. After all voids are filled, the PolyLevel expands, lifting and leveling to sunken slabs. The lightweight material weighs less than 4lbs per cubic foot compared to the 120lbs of mud jacking slurry, offering less stress weight on the soil. PolyLevel also has a quick drying time, allowing access to the injected area within 15 minutes of application. Mud jacking can take several days to cure, preventing the use of the area.
Basements are cold and damp, making them unpleasant to be in. Installing the right insulation can be tricky due to the damp concrete walls. MidAmerica Basement Systems offers special basement insulation called Foamax that will not be damaged by moisture! The foam boards are made of polyisocyanurate, giving the insulation one of the high R-values available. Foamax not only insulated the basement to make the area warmer and energy efficient, it also provides a bright, clean look. The tough, white surface, hides the dirty, ugly, damp walls, brightening the space for an enjoyable living area.
Corinne had noticed her concrete driveway and sidewalk has begun to sink, leaving the area unsafe to walk on. She had heard about MidAmerica Basement Systems’ injection technology, PolyLevel. Small 5/8th sized holes were drilled into the concrete to inject the PolyLevel to fill the voids, and lift the concrete. The quick drying time had the area stabilized in minutes, reducing the tripping hazards. After PolyLevel was injected, the driveway and sidewalk was sealed with NexusPro. NexusPro helps prevent future washouts, extending the life of the concrete slabs.
Roxanne was having concerns with her cracked patio. Over the years, the area had sunk, causing stress on the concrete that lead to cracking. She did not want to have the area re-poured but didn’t want it to come worse over time. She contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have the patio repaired. She was offered PolyLevel to lift and level the sunken areas, and a NexusPro Joint Sealant to provide a longer-lasting solution to the area. PolyLevel is a lightweight material that stabilizes the sunken concrete. NexusPro is a flexible sealant that allows for expanding and shirking with the natural movement of the concrete. This creates a permanent seal to divert water away from the cracks, and help protect the soil against washouts.
Toni was furious when the power went out and her basement flooded due to the lack of her sump not being able to work. She contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have a battery back-up system installed. An UltraSump was installed to aid in her already existing waterproofing system. The UltraSump not only works when the power goes out, but ensure that water will be discharged when circuits are tripped and when sump pumps fail. It also has an alert that alarms you when the backup system has kicked on. Toni no longer stresses during power failures thanks to the UltraSump Batter Back-up system.
Craig and Shey were concerned about the power outage they had during a huge storm. Their sump pump had quit working and flooded the basement. When MidAmerica Basement Systems arrived to address their issue, it was proposed that a TripleSafe be installed. The TripleSafe offers three pumps, a primary pump and a secondary pump if the first pump was to ever fail, and a battery backup sump that is effective during power outages. Now Craig and Shey never have to worry about another power outage again.
At the end of Carl’s driveway, the concrete had sunk, making the transition between the driveway and road a little rough. He had asked around for solution and had heard of the new injection technology from MidAmerica Basement Systems. PolyLevel is a state-of-the-art technology that takes common mudjacking techniques, and uses modern knowledge and materials to lift and level sunken concrete. Small 3/8th inch holes are drilled into the concrete to inject the PolyLevel. Once the solution is injection, the voids that have caused the sinking are filled. The PolyLevel expands and raises the slabs with precise and accurate lifts, leveling the concrete for a smoother transition. Carl can now feel confident when he drives his car over the end of his driveway.
Debbie was looking to finish off the rest of her basement but didn’t know what to do. She would sometimes get a little bit of water seepage when it rained hard. When MidAmerica Basement Systems was out to address the water situation, they proposed the EverLast Wall Paneling system to help finish her basement. EverLast Wall Paneling use high-density closed cell foam insulation that prevents the walls from being damaged by moisture or mold. The panels also offer an R-13 insulation rating that helps make the basement more energy efficient. The strong, EverLast Wall Panels are very durable, making them sturdy enough to hold up to 300 pounds and won’t dent. Now Debbie has a beautiful finished basement walls that will not be ruined by moisture or mold.
Dave has always had his basement finished but never an issue with it leaking, or so he thought. He begun to notice that during large and heavy rainfalls, water would seep in through the floor and wall joint, putting the finished basement at risk. He quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have a waterproofing system installed. A WaterGuard system was installed to help collect and redirect the seeping water, preventing if from surfacing. A SuperSump and UltraSump were installed to discharge the water out of the basement. And to repair the areas of the wall that have been ruined and ripped out, ThermalDry Wall Panels were installed. The ThermalDry Wall Panels also offer a water-resistant wall that will not become ruined by water and will not support mold or mildew growth if a new leak were to appear.
Jeremy was having issues with water seeping through the wall and floor joint rather then reaching his sump pump to be properly discharged out of the basement. He attempted applying hydraulic cement to the joint, but that only worked for a short time. He was still constantly getting water in his basement. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his issues inspected. Jeremy was offered a patented drainage system to help redirect the water to the sump pump. WaterGuard is installed along the wall and floor joint to collect the seeping water, preventing it from surfacing, and guiding it to the sump pump.
Chris was becoming very upset. The sidewalk and patio to his front door had sunken and cracked, making it unsafe and unpleasant for future home buyers. He had contacted many different companies to have the area lifted and leveled, to increase the value of his home on the market. He was about to give up until MidAmerica Basement Systems offered him the solution of PolyLevel. PolyLevel uses high-density polymers to inject under the concrete, filling to voids, and lifting and stabilizing the slabs. Chris was also very impressed with the quick installation and cure time. In less than a day, the value of Chris’ home had significantly improved, grabbing more attention to home buyers.
Gregg was having issues with water collecting and pooling in the middle of his driveway during heavy rainfalls. Voids had become present, causing the concrete to sink on one side, collecting water, and creating larger voids. He was concerned about having the area mudjacked, for fear that it would just wash away like the ground underneath. When he talked with design specialists from MidAmerica Basement Systems, he was relieved. Gregg was offered the solution PolyLevel. PolyLevel is injected under the concrete to fill the voids, and lift and stabilize the slabs. The quick reaction time allows for precise lifting and leveling. PolyLevel is also a waterproof material that prevents future washouts, making it a longer-lasting result than typical mudjacking.

Design Specialist, Joe was able to come out to Walter's home to discuss different waterproofing options for his basement. Joe even recommended that Walter would have CleanSpace installed to go along with the waterproofing system and to clean up the space a little more.
CleanSpace is a great system to have installed within a basement. It is a fast, permanent installation that is drilled-in. It stops water vapor from permeating walls and will also drain wall leaks. It can be washed and can conform to any type of foundation walls, even bumpy!

A homeowner in Cedar Rapids, IA had a sidewalk that leads into the driveway. Over time the sidewalk started to sink down leaving the sidewalk and driveway not evened out. As time continued the sidewalk began to sink more leaving the sidewalk and driveway even more uneven. Now the area has become a tripping hazard and potential falling hazard at the homeowners home. They knew if they wanted to get it fixed they would need a concrete lifting and leveling expert to come to take a look at it. They contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems and we were more than happy to help this homeowner.
There is a solution to cracked, slopping, uneven concrete, and the solution is PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a concrete injection that is injected through the slab to raise it back up. A dime size hole is first drilled into the slab. Next, the lightweight foam is then injected through the hole to lift and expand the concrete back up in a controlled way. Once the concrete is lifted back up the hole is then sealed off and the concrete is once again useable. This will take less time than mud-jacking and involves no disturbance to the concrete and no mud is used at all! The foam is also environmentally friendly and made with recycled materials.
The sidewalk is now leveled back with the driveway and it is no longer a potential hazard in any way. The homeowner no longer worries about their sidewalk and is very pleased that it is back to normal! If you too are looking to have your sidewalks or driveways lifted and leveled, do not hesitate to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. We would be more than happy to set you up with an appointment with a Design Specialist to come out to your home to give you a free, no-obligation estimate. Call us today!
